'Tours & Tournaments' History Round Table - Part I

Crusader Kings III isn't just a game, but a way to bring you closer to the historical thrills of the medieval world. But how close did we get?
Game Director Alexander Oltner and Narrative Designer Verónica spoke with our friend historian Dr. Eleanor Janega (LSE) about the evolution of tournaments, the practical matters of pilgrimages and how Crusader Kings III tries to reflect what we know about the past, while giving players exciting events among strategic calculations.
When did the joust become the center of tournament events?
What was it like to go on a pilgrimage?
And, most importantly, what did the Pope think about all of this?
Join us to learn answers to these and many, many more questions in the first part of this wide-ranging conversation.
Part two is coming soon.
Do not forget to take a look at Eleanor's blog. You can find it here: going-medieval.com/

YO, LET'S GO

[@nyanminsatt1606]

I had to convince my parents I need this DLC for history class. (It was worth it)

[@uxigadur]

Eleanor knows a lot and it is really fun to listen to.

[@essi2]

Thank you PDX for doing all these historical discussions and panels

[@doyouevenpraise189]

Tour and Tournaments was a great a addition to the game I hope the system get expandend even more in the future like adding Grand Hunts or even adding more events inspired by real medieval sotries

[@christophermino7101]

The last time you did something similar, I bought "The Bright Ages" and that was a great read. So I am looking forward to this series. Oh neat, there is a book here as well. Well, something new to read.

[@RKGrizz]

Alexander I know the community did not respond well to T&T initially but I have to say that I love this expansion and could not imagine going back to the way the game was before. Great work everyone, I am very happy with his years major update.

[@luzekiel9343]

wdym, It literally got good reviews on steam and ck3 subreddit liked it.

[@RKGrizz]

@luzekiel9343 initially it was not received well. The first few announcements and the showcase barely showed anything that was coming with the update. This is a downside to drip feeding info about your game out one week at a time.

[@Chrisander90]

That's epic if Dr. Janega plays CK3. I've seen her stuff on History Hit. Good stuff.

[@mrlentelka3111]

I can ask. practically anyone, what the city map is behind dr. Eleanor Janega? I think it's Paris but I am not completely sure. :)

[@uxigadur]

I am not sure, but it could also be london. Justo because she knows a lot about the city.

[@bluepotato7]

It's Paris :)

[@uxigadur]

@@bluepotato7 thanks! good to know.

[@max__pain]

I lived in Paris before and am 99% sure that's it. The half-island near the top of the map is probably the Ile Saint-Louis.

[@kristina7long71]

Soooo cool my friend 🌼😄

[@bigsarge2085]

✌️

[@witcher-86]

like like like like like love CK3 hahah

[@1992zorro]

......First minute in this video and I hear "The first thing people think about the Middle ages are tournaments". This was enough for me to understand why CK3 is like it is compared to CK2.

[@dominicomucci3014]

Even educated Americans overuse the word "like" its painful. I thought it was just young people with limited like vocabulary like that like said like a lot like.
